A San Rafael man was arrested in Sausalito after he was found in a stolen Mercedes with suspected methamphetamine and counterfeit money.

Alexander Kolesnikov, 32, was booked into Marin County Jail on suspicion of vehicle theft, possession of stolen property, drug possession and other counts. His bail was set at $275,000.

The 2014 Mercedes was reported stolen at about 1:40 a.m. Wednesday at Polk and Geary streets in San Francisco. The thief broke into the car and then shut the door on the arm of a parking attendant who tried to intervene, said Marin County sheriff's Lt. Jamie Scardina.

The Mercedes was entered into the LoJack theft detection system. At about 3:30 a.m. Wednesday, a sheriff's deputy detected a LoJack signal and found the Mercedes on Gate 6 Road in Sausalito.

Kolesnikov was inside with the engine running, the lights on and the doors locked. A search of Kolesnikov and the vehicle turned up nearly two ounces of suspected meth in three small plastic bags, counterfeit $20 bills, a fake California driver's license, fake identifications, fraudulent Department of Motor Vehicles documents, an allegedly stolen laptop computer and fake debit and credit cards, Scardina said.

Kolesnikov remained in custody Thursday while the district attorney's office reviewed the case for potential charges.
